COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) NARRACOTT V. NARRACOTT AND HESKETR. This was a petition presented by the husband praying for divorce on the ground of adultery, The damages were laid at LlO,OOO. From the opening statement of the learned counsel it ap peared that the petitioner, in 1859, had some suspicions of the conduct of his wife on account of the neglect she exhi bited towards her family, and this state of things continued during the following year, 1860. It was not until 1861 that the petitioner was satisfied his suspicions of his wife's fidelity were well founded, when, being at Torquay on a visit, he accused her of her bad conduct, and eventually, on the 18th of August, 1861, he turned her out of doors, and instituted the present proceedings. The respondent and co-respondent both pleaded denial. The marriage having been proved, Maria French, residing at Teignmouth, said that in the year 1661, a lady calling herself Mrs. Hope, came and en gaged apartments in the house of her mistress. She came about a quarter-pact nine in the evening. Two bed rooms and a sitting room were engaged. A gentle man came the same evening about ten o'clock, and remained there the whole of the night. The photo graphs put into hand are those of the lady and gentleman who passed the night in her house. She was certain they occupied the same bed from the circumstance that she saw them together on the occasion of her taking up rum and milk to them the next morning. The photographs were then put in as being those of Mrs. Narracott and Mr. Hesketh. Ann Gilpin, domestic, at 6, Courtney-terrace, Teign mouth, also identified the photographs as those of a lady and gentleman who occupied apartments in her mistress's house. The lady gave her name as Mrs. Hope. Several witnesses were then called to prove that the respondent and co-respondent were seen walking together in unfrequented parts of Torquay. Jane Row, a domestic servant, formerly in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Narracott, said—Master always treated his wife as a husband ought to do. She was continually absent during the whole of the day, and when she returned and her husband asked her to account for her absence she always refused to do so. Mr. Narracott could not have treated his wife with harshness and unkindness without her knowledge. The Queen's Advocate, on the part of the respondent, said he should give the jury the converse of the case which had just been laid before them, and he felt when they had heard it, they would be of opinion that the co-respondent ought:not to pay a farthing. Eight months after the marriage the husband commenced a series of acts of cruelty which, when the facts were before them, they would see that in a great measure, if not entirely,. he had no person but himself blame for all the unhappines that had fallen upon The mother of the respondent was then examined. Her evidence went to show that she was averse to the match ; but notwithstanding that opposition, the marriage took place, and for two years afterwards she never saw her daughter. About that time she called,upon her, and she told her that her husband was in the habit of cruelly ill treating her. The case, which was proceeding when we went to press, is not expected to conclude to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbarn,) SIR A. TITCIIBORNE. This bankrupt was described as of Arlenford Park, and this was an adjourned meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. Lawrence said the matter had been adjourned in order that an arrangement might be completed for payment of the creditors in full. They had already been paid ]ss in the pound, and in a very short time there would be funds in hand to make up the amount to 20s in the pound with interest at the rate of 5 per (milt. It was, therefore, pro posed that a further adjournment should be taken for six weeks, to which all parties interested assented. His Honour said that it was very gratifying to hear it, and granted the adjournment. RE BRANTIGAR. This bankrupt was described as a baker, of Camberwell and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. W. R. Buchanan appeared for the bankrupt, who had formerly been a sugar baker, but went into business on his own accunt as a baker, ani lost his capital, and now owes £lB2, and no assets, the deficiency being bad debts. There was no opposition, and the discharge was granted. RE J. D. HALL. Mr. Laurence said that this was a judgment:summons, and the question was, whether the debt was contracted before the passing of the last act, and judgment was not signed till afterwards, the Court had jurisdiction. There was an appeal pending before the Lord Chancellor, in an analogous case, and it would be decided in a fow days. It was therefore proposed that the present case should be adjourned till Monday week to see how far the decision would go. JONES V. COLE. This was a summons under the Small Debts Act. Mr. Read appeared for the plaintiff. His Honour said he must repeat what he had said on a previous occasion, that in these cases counsel ought not to be engaged, enhancing the expenses of poor suitors, when all the Court had to do was to examine the debtor as to his means of paying, and make such order as it might think fit. Mr. Reed said that it had been the practice in the Insol vent Court to have counsel in such cases. His Honour said that in that court attorneys could no be heard. Mr. Reed—They could in some matters ; but counsel had the right of audience. His Honour repeated that he did not think counsel should be instructed in these cases, and proceeded to examine the defendant, who offered £1 a month, which plaintiff refused to accept, requiring £5. His Honour made an order at £2 per month. BRIGHTON ELECTION, DECLARATION OF THE POLL. BRIGHTON, Tuesday. The official declaration of the poll took place at eleven o'clock this morning.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—The magnificent collection of portrait models of the principal monarchs and celebrated men of Europe, together with relics of no ordinary interest, as well as many belonging to the First Napoleon, and which can only be seen at Mdme.Tussand's popular and instructive Exhibition, in Baker-street, continue a great attraction to the numerous visitors who daily patronise the same. The case of Letitia Bonaparte Wyse, widow of Sir Thomas Wyse, daughter of Lucien Bonaparte, and therefore cousin german of the present Emperor of France, against Messrs. Lewis and Howe, her late solici tors, came on for trial on Saturday in the Court of Com mon Pleas, before Chief Justice Monahan and a special jury. It was resumed yesterday, and is not yet finished. there was much excitement in court yesterday in course of the proceedings, when a boy of about 16 years of age, a clerk in Mr. Lewis's office, was confronted with Madame Wyse. He swore positively that he delivered a letter to her from Mr. Lewis on the 14th May at her lodgings at the house of Mr. Bolton, confectioner, Leeson-street. She as posi tively swore the contrary, and, at a short interval, Mr. Bolton, who was sent for, came forward, and producing his account book, swore she did not come to reside at his house until the 19th, five days after. At this stage there was another little episode. Mr. Napoleon Wyse, who was seated beside his mother, Lady Wyse, volunteered some assistance to Mr. Lewis in examining Mr. Bolton's account book for the date, when madame rose indignantly and passed over to the other aide of the court, intimating that she disengaged herself from an unfilial son. The address of Mr. Whiteside to-day for the pla;ntiff, Lady Wyse, is looked forward to with considerable interest. FUNERAL OF A POLICE SERGEANT.—Yesterday afternoon the remains of Henry Joy, formerly a sergeant of the C division of Police—and who died last week after a lingering illness, owing its origin to injuries he received while in execution of his duty—were deposited in their final resting place in Highgate Cemetery, On the funeral cortege reaching the Kentish-town Police station it was preceded by a number of the A Reserve, and the band of the C division (under the direction of Mr. De Lacy, the bandmaster), and followed by a large body of the C divi sion, and a host of friends of the deceased, and inhabitants of the St. James's district—all anxious to pay this tribute of respect to his memory. The procession then wended its way to the cemetery, the band playing the "Dead March in Saul," the " Sicilian Mariners' Hymn," &e. On reaching the cemetery the coffin was borne to the grave by some of the deceased's comrades, and, after the service for the burial of the dead had been read, the band played a requiem over the grave as the mournful ceremony concluded. Mr. Ilannant, the superintendent of the C division, was present, as also Inspectors Walker, Silvertonp Wilson, and Draper, under whose direction the arrange meats were carried out. Advices from Athens state that the King of Greece has given a grand ball, at which were present all the membars of the diplomatic body, the Ministers, the grand functionaries, and about a thousand other guests. His Majesty opened the fete with the wife of the President of the Assembly, and danced several times during the evening. 34 96j k 4 6 POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MURDEROUS AFFRAY.—A FIGHT IN THE DARK...— Wm. Larendon, described as an interpreter, and residing at 19, Adam and Eve-court, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with violently assaulting a female named Susan Norman. The injured woman was unable to attend, and the fol lowing certificate was handed to the magistrate : Middlesex Hospital, Feb. 17. I hereby certify that Susan Norman is too ill to attend the court. G. E. PYLE, House-surgeon. Martin, 133 E, said—About three o'clock this morning I heard a cry of " Police," and on going towards Adam and Eve-court I met a woman with a large patch of blood on her dress. I asked her how she came by it, and she said, "If you come with me I will show you." I then went to 19, Adam and Eve-court, and there found the sister of the woman who had spoken to me, with her face badly cut and bleeding. The woman, whose name I ascertained to be Susan Norman, was insensible, and her sister told me that the prisoner was the man who did it. All the prisoner said was that there was no occasion to send for a doctor. This morning I received a certificate from the hospital (as above). Mary Ann Curtis said the prisoner and Susan Norman had some words. A dish was thrown, and then the plates were all thrown at each other, the place being in total dark ness at the time. When a light came Susan Norman was bleeding furiously. I heard the plates going at one another, but I cannot say whether Susan Norman hit the prisoner or not. The whole of the crockery in the place was smashed by the prisoner and Susan Norman throwing the things at one another. We had all had a good drop to drink. Thomas Boyce, 55 E—On going to the second floor of the house I found the injured woman lying in a pool of blood. I took her to the hospital. The prisoner's wife said he had done it, but the prisoner did not say anything.

In the evening he returned drunk and demanded twopence mcre ; he made a disturbance in the shop, and then went into the yard, and, by loud talking, collected a crowd of persons round the premises, to whom, among other things, he said that neither the business nor the cows be longed to complainant. In order to get rid of the annoy ance, his daughter gave the defendant the 2d for which he had asked ; but he came in again and repeated his annoy ance ; however, when he saw the police coming, he took himself off with two men wao had accompanied him. Com plainant called the constable, and gave him into custody. Mr. Arnold—What for ? Complainant—For creating a disturbance at my house. Mr. Arnold—He could aot be taken into custody for that. You could have put aim out of your house or called the constable to assist you in doing it, and then, if he made a disturbance, the constable could have taken him upon his own authority. Complainant—lfe was drunk, and he behaved very dis gracefully at my house. Mr. Arnold—l can't eee hew he can be given into custody for what he did. . Complainant—He made a great noise at my house. Mr. Arnold—He is chazed on the sheet with being drunk and annoying you, and he should not have been taken into custody for what he did there. (To the police constable)—Did you take tha defendant on your own charge, or on the complainant's ? Pollce-constable—On the complainant's charge. Mr. Arnold—Then he is zot properly before me. He is discharged. Acting Inspector—He wasdrunk and making a disturb ance in the public street. Mr. Arnold—Then he BliDuld have been so charged. The complaint before me was for being at Mr. Damack's house and annoying him. The constable says that he did not take him on his own authority for disturbing the public peace, which he might have dons. THkMES.

Mr. Beard, solicitor, defeide& the prisoners, who were tolerably well-dressed. Mr. John Basden, manager to Mr. George Emery, linendra?er, of No. 31 and :2, Sidney-place, Commercial road, Stepney, said the prisoners came into the shop and asked to look at some mantles. He called a young man to attend to them. He left them looking at the mantles for 20 minutes or half an Lour. They looked at a great many mantles but did mt buy any. They left the mantle (room and went b the ribbon department. He suspected they did not wait to buy anything, and on leav ing the shop without making a purchase a piece of ribbon was missed. He charged the prisoners with stealing it, and the piece of ribbon was immediately dropped on the floor of the shop by Emma Smith. She then took a piece of linsey from some part o! her dross, and threw it down. The ribbon was valued at2s 9d, and was the property of Mr. Emery. He knew nothing of the Linsey. Charlotte Weatherfield, of No. 6, Philpot-street, Com mercial-road, said " these ltdies" (the prisoners) came into the shop of Mr. Griffiths, my employer, at No. 5, Bedford place, Commercial-road, and said they wanted to purchase a square mantle. They looked at many, and could not find one to suit. We after ards missed the piece of linsey now produced. Lydia Matthews said she was in the same establishment as the last witness.

Mr. LAIRD, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that the object of the bill was to enable private manu facturers to erect testing machines, and so render them re sponsible for the manufacture of their own articles. The London Society of Shipowners were in favour of the bill, which would be of great benefit to small manufacturers. He combat•ed some other objections to the bill, and said it would not come into operation until June 1865. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE seconded the motion, and ex pressed a hope that the bill would be allowed to go.into coin, mittee when any improvement in detail oould be introduced,. The expense that would result from the alteration in the law would be insignificant when compared with the importance of the subject to which it related. He quoted different statistics to show that there was a great increase in the num ber in 1862 of the wrecks, which amounted to a loss of Ile less than 325,043 tons, involving the loss of several hun dred lives, and jeopardising the lives of no less than 14,073 lives. Ninety-three of these disasters were occasioned by the imperfectness of the chains and cables used. Mr. HUTT said he would not oppose the bill, but con sidered that its provisions would not be adequate to prevent fraud. Alderman ROSE supported the bill, and remarked that about 80 per cent. of the chains and cables manufactured were below the proof required. Mr. LINDSAY considered that the bill was unnecessary, as the object it proposed was being carried out in Stafford shire, and other parts of the country where chains and cables were extensively manufactured. the fact was, that shipowners, for their own sake, would before long use cables and anchors that were not properly tested. If it were known that shipowners used chains and cables of an inferior description it would injure their own interests. He admitted the benevolence of the object, and if the bill would effect only one tenth of that object it should have his hearty support; but he denied that it would be attended with such a result. He deprecated the interference of Par liament on this subject, which, he contended, would have the effect of relieving manufacturers trom a personal responsibiltty, which at present was imposed on them, to produce articles of a good quality. Another evil would be that all the small manutacturers would be ruined and the trade thrown entirely into the hands of the great manufacturers of /Staffordshire and Wales, which would be a great injury to the interests of the shipowners as well as the public generally. Moreover, by the bill no chains and cables that were not tested were to be issued after June, 1865, and those manufacturers whose stock would of course beaeriously depreciated, would come to the house, and justly, for compensation. He would not offer any factious oppoeition to the bill being read a second time, but he repeated that it would defeat the object in view, an it was founded on false principles. Mr. CAVE said he had no doubt there was necessity for legislation on this subject. With reference to leaving, as had been suggested, this subject to a committee of Lloyd's, ic must be remembered that Lloyd's was a very private company, whose determination one day might be cancelled the next ; and he contended that it would be more advisable to place on the statute book an enactment on a subject of such importance. He agreed in the principle of the bill, but considered that it required alteration in detail, and that many committee, who should have to decide this question, the Board of Trade and other public bodies should be repre sented. Mr. BENTINCK supported the bill, and he believed that unless they were compelled to do so, shipowners in many cases would purchase not the best articles but the cheapest. They had on record that a large number of casualties had resulted from the use of bad chains and cables, and although in some cases no human provision could pre vent disasters, still it was desirable that there should be legislation in order to prevent a recurrence of such disasters as might be averted. He thought that their would be no difficulty in securing efficient articles by the means of such being properly certificated. He con sidered their should be not only immediate but stringent legislation on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HORSFALL supported the bill, and said that if the Board of Trade were sincere in their desire to carry out st measure of this nature they would not Rad any insuperable difficulties in details. _ LLEFT SITTING.] The -Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris Is about 4 per mille pm., wad the short exchange on London is 25.35 per £1 sterling. on comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lead. per ounce for standard gold, it appeal s that gold itr about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4 i per £1 sterling.. Standard gold at the Englisn Mint price is, therefore, about 2-10ths dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 17lf to 172 k per cent., and the premium on gold is about 57i per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of gold from thelUnited Stales. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, via Southampton. ......
